This is Bella and she came with a lovely note attached that I would like to share with you all. This is in no way intended to be a political statement... although I DO have a son in the Army...so maybe I appreciate this note more than some might.

A word from Bella's human, the 'U.S. Navy' costume creator:

Hi, my name is Bella. I'm showing my Howl-O-Ween spirit by wearing my cute U.S. navy costume. I wanted to show my support for our troops this year. I have tremendous respect for you because you are defending us and fighting against an enemy who clearly has hatred in their hearts. Please come home safely and know that people may oppose the war, but they have always and will always support you and what you have done for your country. Happy Halloween!!!
